NHC Sale in Dec06:

[A] Apr06-Dec06: 29527 (Honda press release)
[b] Apr06-Oct06: 24031 (Auto news - Murad Baig)
[C] Nov06 sales: 2732 (Honda press release)

Sale in Dec06 = [A] - [b] - [C] = 2764 units

Few observations:
  • NHC ZX was launched in Nov05 and hence numbers for Dec05 might be more.
  • People postpone their purchase till Jan to enhance the resale value. Hence the numbers in Nov/Dec will be small.
  • Civic now fills the gap between NHC & Accord. Hence Honda buyers (who could afford Civic) would have bought Civic instead of NHC.
Though the number is small compared to other months, its more than Fiesta, Aveo and maybe even Verna.
